celebrate the relighting of the 85-year-old beacon shut off after the 1941 attack. so it wouldn't be targets. cold weather and the threat of snow led organizers to move the event inside. they were happy the beacon would be lighted again. >> we're alive and obviously i endured and gratified at the people that the many friend that we had -- friends that we had that have since passed away are in effect remembered by this beacon. >> the ceremony coincides with the ceremony in hon lieu lou to honor those who lost their loves during the attack. and the beacon is relighted each year on the anniversary of the attack. the beacon has been refurbished this year. and snow is piling up in the sierra and it's a welcome sight for skiers and snowboarders. this weekend, several lake tahoe resorts will be open including heavenly. it got more than two feet of fresh powder overnight and as a result, the resort was able to

open two more runs today. and kirkwood is also open this weekend after seeing nearly three feet of snow last night. the resort opened new runs and has plans to open more later this month. well, let's pick it up where we left off and show you the forecast overnight lows for tonight. down into the low 20s in some parts of the north bay around santa rosa the forecast low will be 22. 26 at livermore and 27 in san jose. want to show it in case a few people tuned in a little bit late. it's going to be cold tonight. you probably heard that by now. as we look live to the bay bridge from the rooftop camera. in livermore 45. in san francisco, 46 degrees. wind speeds right now, if you head out tonight, it's going to be not only cold, but winds are gusting up to 20 miles per hour at sfo. mostly out of the northwest a few out of the east northeast though at fairfield. a little bit windy. they will die down later in the night tonight. and so if you're heading out 8:00 p.m. temperature shows readings mostly in the low to mid-40s

around the bay area. bundled up obviously. and we've got clear skies that's not going to help trap the heat that we generated during the day. recover tomorrow to readings only in the mid 40s. a chilly sunday on tap. around the bay the number may be about 50 degrees and high pressure is out on the pacific but just too low. and low pressure that was over us and spun into the south land is now moving into the desert southwest. it takes that big chill back east. lows plunging into the 20s inland tonight and the big dividing line the jet stream between the polar air to the north and the relatively warm air to the south and all the way down to mexico is the dividing line. we had uncomfortable weather and back east it's going to translate into a big time ice storm for them. for us we'll get a chilly day on sunday and then things are going to begin to warm up. freezing lows through monday night. colder tomorrow night. then we'll get tonight. warming trend begins on tuesday and back to near 60 degrees inland and boy look at that.

the frigid temperatures. a degree below zero tomorrow. heading out sunshine for much of northern california. and as we look at the numbers, it's going to be mostly mid 40s and mid- to upper 40s for the south bay. 48 at millipedes. on the east bay. 45 degrees at napa. pleasant hill hits 46. up in the north bay, chilly tomorrow with 49 at sausalito and just 47 at row net park. santa rosa a high only in the upper mid 40s tomorrow. 45 at the yucaipa. tuesday through thursday, the numbers skyrocket all the way back to a sweltering 60 degrees inland. so if you hang around for the latter half of the week back toward where we should be for this time of year except for one thing. not a drop of rain as far as the eye can see. >> i have to remember to cover the plants again tonight. gary in tonight and are we talking football and you're talking golf. >> why not? warms things up a little bit right? i like to do that.

the tigers hosted #5 missoun me. no miracle,, all right, this time there were no end of game miracles for auburn. the tightest hosted missouri in the -- tigers hosted missouri in the sec title game. great game though. henry joe see ran for over 100 yards but here watch this.

he slides out into the corner of the cart. he would have to leave the game. 100 yards for him. rushing. but he is out of there. missouri kept it close down eight at the end of the first half. james franklin for green beckham. 55-yard touchdown and auburn only up one at halftime. that calls for the fans to take the shirts off. you have to have no shirts on if you're a fan. how about this? the teams combined for over 100 points but awe auburn prevailed. they win the sec championship game 59-42 and still have a chance at the bcs title game if florida state or ohio state loses tonight. battle of oklahoma and oklahoma state. how about this? sooners and cowboys usually a punt highlight means a fighting and it is right here. saunders took it at his own 36. a few moves inside outside and forget about it. you're not going to catch him. off to the races and all said and done it's a 64-yard return for a score. game tied up at 7. came down to the wire and oklahoma driving for the win and blake bell to the saunders in the corner of

the end zone. that is the game winner. oklahoma stuns number six o. k. state 33-24. that likely pushes oklahoma state out of the bcs bowl picture. by default the championship was mack brown and texas hosting baylor. all baylor up 13 in the fourth. martin the 18-yard touchdown run put the game away. he likes that one. and so does this. do a little crowd surful. 30-10. they win the big 12 and with oklahoma state loss that, they'll be going to the fiesta bowl. it's the first time baylor won a league title since 1980. all right, well college basketball now. and nothing like the old buzzer- beater, colorado and kansas all tied up. >> booker gets it off. he got it! >> there it is. that booker wins it as the buster, colorado upsets number six kansas always fun to watch those.

in thousand oaks is hard enough. sprinkle in rain and wind and forget about it. the host tiger woods shot a 10 under 62 yesterday. not even close to that today. third round of the northwest mutual world challenge. and how about that? little wildlife out there. deer pouncing around. how about bubba watson right here rolling this one from off the green and rolling it and rolling it and somehow finding the bottom of the cup. currently in third place at a shot of 3 under for the day. tiger woods on 16 with the approach. watch this the nice shot. this would set up a birdie. just stares the shots down. roles right up there and gets it. he actually lost the lead to johnson midway through. but that's a pretty nice looking shot. and then now on 18, it's going to be zach johnson, lining up a 20-foot birdie putt and nails it. and amazing. very tough greens to read but they can do it well. he's at 9 under. tiger woods thought to himself hey if i can do it i can do it. a two stroke lead after shooting a 72 and 11 under heading into the final round

tomorrow. a little soccer for you. the mls cup up for grabs, sporting kc taking on real salt lake. but colon heads it in to tie the game up at 1 apiece. the championship game would head to the shootout and it was an epic one. colon in the corner for sporting kc. now it's up to palmer to keep real salt lake alive but no. his blast is high off the cross bars and sporting kc takes the 2013 mls cup. so tough to see that and bouncing right off the cross bar. all right it was the pop warner super bowl of northern california. and it sent three teams to the big dance in florida. palo alto in green and unfortunately no match for the team from norfolk, virginia. palo alto shut out in the game 28-0. there's more, there's more. the brentwood oakley falcons were also shut out. picked off here. there's more there's more. by warren of the ward warriors

team from washington, d.c. and brentwood also shutout in this one 28-0. but watch the little guys run. isn't this great? >> it the good no i like it. >> good to watch. now here we go. northern california's final hope was a team from gilroy. and they came through. here it is. lane runs it in from 20 yards out for the game-winning touchdown. the gilroy tigers win the division two junior midget super bowl 28-20. >> but at least they got to represent over there in florida. that's pretty cool. >> i wish they had that when its playing the little guys. >> they didn't have it way back then? >> not highlights. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> thank you gary, that's going to do it for us at 5:30. stay tuned for an hour special on the life and work of nelson mandela. >> until then the news updates are on kpix.com. have a good night. ,,,,
